The darkness exists in our minds. Because each mind is different, the darkness will be too. You cannot measure the darkness in someone else’s mind, and weigh it with your own. It is different. We each have our own scars, our own demons to face. Some in the form of money, some in blade, some in faces, some in alcohol. But, one thing is certain… they live in the mirror. It will be a different reflection for everyone. The mirror shows you what you are, but it is up to you to decide what you see in yourself.

Don’t look back. Don’t look to what could have been, or what should have been. You aren’t going backwards, you will never be there again. Time is moving forward, so don’t turn your back on it. It’s a matter of moving with it. Otherwise you will be caught up in what once-was, you’ll end up far behind the “now”, which is where you are. You will find yourself lost. You’ll never be who/what you once were. You have new scars, new memories, new chances. Realize who you are. Now. Here. In this moment. Focus on being the best new you, you can be. Because what already passed, cannot be regained.
